Myers Power Products manufactured the largest prefabricated traction power substation in the United States for the Long Island Railroad (LIRR). The 45’ x 252’ substation will transform AC power from the electrical utility into DC power for LIRR trains operating on the East Side Access line extension.

Weighing in at nearly 50 tons, the substation provides secure, weather-proof construction that houses three individual 3MW traction power lineups each with a dedicated 26.4kV incoming utility service. The traction power substations will power the LIRR Main Line and Sunnyside Yard tracks.

Myers Power Products produced the East Side Acess Modular Substation in true turnkey fashion, providing engineering, fabrication, manufacturing, integration, and testing under a single contract executed in a single, ISO-certified factory. The substation features AC & DC switchgear (incorporating Myers HVF and HSN circuit breakers), rectifiers, transformers, tie breakers, and tie buses, SCADA, metering, control, HVAC, fire alarm, security, and lighting systems.
